They are grifters like Trump. They have a permanent hold over those low-education voters who read National Enquirer & send money to televangelists who then become multi millionaires. They preach a false gospel & rely upon misogyny & anti-LGBTQ rhetoric all while harboring child abusers & pedophiles. Evangelicals cannot be redeemed any more than the current MAGA GOP can be redeemed. They are the true rot in our society.

The "hook" seems to be, feeding them what they want to hear. The tragedy is, appealing to the worst of human nature: race-hatred and above all other-blaming. I was struck by the gusto of Trump being evil to please Hannity's audience yesterday. He reveled in the calculated response of sad people who were needy to feel vicariously mean and somehow empowered.
